Yes its a bad beat, but its not that bad a beat..the guy has 10 outs!
The situation it happens in, for that size of pot though...yuk
This, who really cares.
I cant be bothered to figure it out, but I would estimate that pot has a $equity value of somewhere in $2-$2.5m regoin (if nto slightly more)
There is no way to see the long run in this, so basically he got it in 80/20 and lost $2.5m
That is a really really fucking bad beat imo
Yeah but it's poker, these things happen. Why shouldn't it happen in the ME, he got that deep two years in a row, he didn't run bad, losing one hand must suck but such is life when you play poker regularly.
